Need a script for a radio or TV commercial? Want to make a mini-documentary or shoot a corporate video? As a former TV reporter, I've written about a zillion scripts for television.

Blogs are a wonderful tool for businesses to offer expert advice while drawing attention to their services. They gain traffic with SEO topics and google searches, driving customers to their site. My own blog, Blue Besos, is more personal in nature, realizing a dream of being the editor of my own magazine. Written in a fun, friendly tone, the reader benefits by learning about the latest offerings in cool restaurants, stylish boutiques and travel getaways. Bonus? I benefit by being searchable, and having an ever-generating showcase of new writing and reporting.
